According to iMBC, only up to episode 2 had been officially released. Yet, when Hulu users noticed the additional episodes, they took “advantage of this to pirate episodes 3 and 4 and share them without permission.”
A netizen commented regarding the leaked episodes via the portal site OpenTalk. They expressed frustration over the leaked clips as they spread on social media. It exposed them to spoilers when they wanted to wait and watch the full episodes.
Did the officials know that episodes 3 and 4 were released first on Hulu and spoiler videos were being circulated everywhere? It’s so annoying, I can’t stand it… This is how they manage the release schedule for the main story. Do you know that the pirated video was released on Hulu first?

From now on, it should be released as to its initial schedule.
